# Fivetran

<Info>
  To create API keys and Secret in Fivetran, you will need have **Account Administrator** access. See also the Fivetran docs [here](https://fivetran.com/docs/rest-api/getting-started).
</Info>

## Generate API Key

<Danger>
  **Fivetran only supports a single, account-level API key.** If one already exists, creating a new one will disable the existing key and connectivity for any applications using the existing key will stop working.

  If a key already exists in your account, you should ask within your organization for the existing API Key and Secret.
</Danger>

1. To generate API credentials login to [Fivetran](https://fivetran.com/) as a user with the Account Administrator role.
2. On the top-left corner of your screen, click the drop-down with your account name and click on **Manage Account** to view your Fivetran account settings.

3. Select the **Settings tab** and in the API Config section at the bottom click on the Generate Button and make a note of the API key and API secret as we will need those to setup the Paradime integration.

## Connect the Fivetran Integration

The Fivetran integration can be connected by a Paradime **Admin user**. To enable the integration, in Paradime navigate to your *Account Settings > Integrations*, find the Fivetran integration and click *Connect*.

1. Add the API Key and Secret for your Fivetran account
2. Click on Test Connection to validate that Paradime can connect to Fivetran and start importing Metadata from your Connectors.
